    SS hint- I have lived in your state's prettiest city, and also in your state's largest city. Way to hot for me, so I came home to Oregon.

    Good morning all! 6 days left til the opening!! I see we still have 2 without boxes, probably caught up in customs or something. One of the Santas did post that she wasn't mailing til 11/29, so who ever gets that box should get it today, I would think. As long as all have arrived by this weekend, we'll be fine. Just means those boxes won't torture you as long as some have, but they'll torture you just the same til opening time.
    Had a lovely evening last night at a friends house. We had a chili chowder & cornbread dinner then sat around the bonfire with hot chocolate roasting marshmellows. Our two hubbys finally got to meet one another too. With both of them being truck drivers, seems they're never home at the same time. Both of us girls used to drive, but now we handle our sewing machines instead of those big rigs! Took me awhile to get used to staying home all the time, but now I don't even think about going back on the road. Anyway, we had a nice time over there. Today is our guilds Christmas luncheon, so will be gone most of the day. The quilt I've been trying to quilt just won't co-operate, so the gal who's quilt it is & I are going to stop at the LQS & get new backing for it, take it over to someone else's home & see if I can't get it quilted on her longarm. I wish it were just a simple panto, but no....it's custom, so it'll take me awhile to get it done. Only lucky thing about it is that I've done it's twin, so I know what I did on that one & can pretty much duplicate it. Wish me luck!!!!!

    Today's hint: Your state is purported to have a lot of rain, but you're on the wrong side to get a lot of it!

    Those in the hole have sure been quiet lately. Must be saving it up for OPENING DAY! It is just around the corner. Not soon enough for me. I am sure there are some pretties in my package. I have another little box to send to my SS pal. It will be something to share on opening day that had to be refrigerated for longer storage so want it to be nice a fresh for opening party celebrations!

    I most likley won't join in on the fun, I'm now caring for my three week old Grandson, and between him and my knee surgery just getting done, not much time for anything right now, but hope you all have a super time.

    Here's a hint to my SS. Don't get the box too close to the fur babies.

    Been pretty quiet...still trying to recover from pneumonia. Everyone available, there will be a meeting in the hole- bring booze and junk food. We only have a week left to plan the package inspection before opening day. Of course we need to make sure everything is appropriate for the boxes, and confiscate anything debatable.
